What is Ancient Christianity?: Christianity when It Worked : Third Edition Bernard Price 3.º edición

"I will build my church," said Jesus, describing the holy, spiritual communion of believers He would establish. Yet, in the centuries since Jesus' first-century pronouncement, a tortured tangle of church schisms, splinters and synods, each promulgating their own versions of the Gospel, has emerged. Whatever happened to the Church Jesus founded - the original Christianity that Jesus promised even the gates of hell could not prevail against?In this unique volume, His Eminence Dr. Bernard Price, who is both a beloved archbishop of the Mar Thomas Orthodox Catholic Church as well as one of America's foremost authorities on church history and liturgy, traces the development of Christian doctrine through the centuries in search of the original, full-strength faith.
